Lol that's funny. How's that working out for you with the liberal judges letting them go? Money would be spent better housing the animals rather than ninja suits. You cannot fight crime with military tactics totally different. Police arrest people the military kills them would be nice but this is America.

Isn't the whole point of counter-insurgency to work with the community so LESS people get killed? I have no clue if this is really working in Springfield or if it's just them pumping themselves up, but this seems to be the rare "military tactic" that could work in the civilian world.
